I know what needs to be done, but can this be done without a hydraulic lift. Can it be done on the ground & the front end raised engough to lower the engine to the ground & pulled out from beneath. Also had another thought, can the entire fron clip be pulled & use a engine hoist to remove the engine? I would think if the front clip can be pulled & the engine comming out the front would be an easier task, whats your thoughts.

Yes. With vans that usually how it's done. Disassemble front clip, lift and slide engine out the front door.
